Spent a lovely afternoon on Bamburgh Beach a few weeks ago. I liked the stubborn determination of this child's straight-line stride across the sand. Channeling a little Joel Meyerowitz, perhaps. What do you think: colour or black & white? #beach #photography Fuji X-T5 and XF70-300mmF4-5.6
Revisited the W Hotel in Edinburgh to get a more flattering angle. The building, nicknamed "The Jobby", has a curling ribbon of metal spiralling around it up to a point. Ribbon or 💩? You decide. #edinburgh #whotels #architecture #street

I love it when I see interesting light and can use it to make an interesting image. Fan Ho was a master of this and I was looking at a lot of his work last week. Maybe that's why this clicked in just a few seconds. #streetphotography #photography Fuji X-T5 and XF16-55mmF2.8 WR II
On this Cotswold farm the entire harvest was complete before 26 July, which is incredibly early. Including the hay from the field with the old windmill. #cotswolds #oxfordphotographicsociety #harvest #drought #photography Fuji X-T5 and XF16-55mmF2.8 WR II
On the threshold: a pair of Balliol students chat outside the iconic college doorway (taken a few weeks ago). #Oxford #streetphotography #photography Fuji X-T5 and XF16-55mmF2.8 WR II

The #52frames theme a few weeks ago was "A quiet moment". Made this image of an office worker taking a break in Smithfield, London. #photography Fuji X-T5 and XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR II
This tour group was having the best time on Broad Street in Oxford and I liked how their outline was matched by the decorative window above. #photography Fuji X-T5 and XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR II
This is what happens when you see a giant steel box on the shore of the Thames at low tide and think "that'd be a great place for a nap!" Taken at Gabriel's Wharf next to the Oxo tower in London. #photography Fuji X-T5 and XF16-55mmF2.8 WR II
The #52frames theme a few weeks ago was "triangular composition" and these are my favourite triangles in the Westgate Centre. Last photo before security showed up apologetically once more. Shoot early, shoot often. #photography Fuji X-T5 and XF16-55mmF2.8 WR II

The Radcliffe Camera is not just a reading room (in 5 parts): it's also a place to gossip, laugh with your friends, take a breather over lunch, get inspired... or maybe fall in love? #Oxford #photography Fuji X-T5 and XF16-55mmF2.8 WR II
Iconic Bodleian library location matched with academic in sub-fusc, perhaps heading to a dinner somewhere. #photography Fuji X-T5 and XF16-55mF2.8 WR II
Ascending and Descending — shot at Oxford Westgate Centre. A fleeting geometric motion that caught my eye. Security paid me a very polite visit right after I took it. #Oxford #streetphotography
Inspired by the great street photographer Saul Leiter for last week's #52frames theme. He was an early user of colour for a lot of his street work. #photography Fuji X-T5 and XF16-55mmF2.8 WR II
The #52frames theme last week was Portrait of a Stranger. This is Cleve (AKA Blakk Gold), originally from Jamaica, who runs a stall at a furniture market in Copenhagen. We had a great conversation and he insisted on wearing shades for photographs! #photography Fuji X-T5 and XF16-55mmF2.8 WR II
The Wild Hearted Women from Worcestershire, AKA @hawthorn_and_hare_morris doing their Boudica dance on Oxford's Broad Street. I am a catching up with my postings 😅 #Oxford #photography Fuji X-T5 and XF16-55mmF2.8 WR II
Last weekend was the Oxford Folk Festival, filling the city with dancers and musicians from Friday to Sunday. I was really struck by the rhythmic performance of this clog-clad group dancing on Catte Street between All Souls and the Radcliffe Camera. #photography Fuji X-T5 and XF16-55mmF2.8 WR II

Last week's #52frames theme was Low Key; I found this great lighting in the entrance to an East London tube station and made this image: Homeward bound underground. #photography Fuji X-T5 and XF16-55mmF2.8 WR II
I have a quantum computing joke. It's only ten years away from commercial viability.
